While a lot of the documents that you create in applications like Microsoft Word or Google Docs are going to be on the default paper size, you may occasionally need to use a different one.

Whether you are making a banner or flyer that is going to be much larger, or you need to put something on legal paper, or tutorial on how to change paper size in Google Docs will show you how to accomplish it.

Note that electing to make this the default will also cause any other changes on this menu to apply to those new documents as well. For example, if you changed the margins, that would apply as well.
